PHP1 trillion spent under Build, Build, Build -Dizon

Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) President and Chief Executive Officer, and Presidential Adviser for Flagship Programs and Projects Vince Dizon reported that the government has already shelled out PHP1 trillion in line with the execution of the Build, Build, Build program. He also informed that the infrastructure project currently has 35 ongoing constructions, 32 that begin in six to eight months, 21 that are in advanced stages of the state’s approval, and 12 that are in advanced stages of feasibility studies. These figures, says Dizon, speak for themselves against the allegation that the Build, Build, Build is a dismal failure.

Meanwhile, a manifesto versus corruption was signed jointly by the heads of different government agencies today, November 13, 2019, in keeping with the administration’s fight against corruption.

On a separate news, Senator Christopher Go informed that President Rodrigo Duterte still has not made his pick on the next spearhead of the Philippine National Police.
